Feeling crappy today - possibly due to weather, digestive issues, stress, frustration, and struggling with my dietary restrictions.<br /><br />At any rate, cranky. So best not to post.<br /><br />And got zip done, outside of torturing myself with the very bad television series "The Thing About Pam".<br /><br />3. Checked out the internet, and apparently there's a lot of places I can retire to that do not require a car now...than previously. So the trend is going against owning a car post 60.<br /><br />Good to know.<br /><br />What instigated it?<br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://shadowkat.dreamwidth.org/1889930.html#cutid1">Read more...</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=shadowkat&ditemid=1889930" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-06-20:411779:1464711 2019-02-07T03:25:17Z 2019-02-08T03:05:52Z public 12 There's an article about <a href="https://readymag.com/u96463021/1292921/24/"> fanfiction, fandom and shipping</a> in the new romance magazine Blush, that's just been launched. (Got it via Smartbitches. )<br /><br />1. Critiques? <br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://shadowkat.dreamwidth.org/1464711.html#cutid1">tiny print and what is cult not cult</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br />2. Wrong-headed shipping or shipping bad guys with heroes...such as Kylo Ren and Rei, or Draco Malfoy and Hermonine, or Angelus and Buffy.<br /><br />Quibbles aside..I don't ship the way the person being interviewed does. I don't really do or tend to do &quot;wrong-headed&quot; shipping. With a few rare exceptions -- and usually those are one's that fit the story thread and are canon. I don't tend to ship counter to the canon. <br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___2" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://shadowkat.dreamwidth.org/1464711.html#cutid2">Read more...</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___2" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br />3. Canon vs. non-canonical shipping (not to be confused with m/m or f/f slash - which can be canonical or non-canonical depending on the series.).<br /><br />Per the above, I ship with the canon or with the story-thread. And don't have a lot of patience for shipping against the story-thread. It's rare that I'll ship characters that aren't going to end up together, aren't written to be romantic love interests, and aren't written to be friends. And if they are friends or lovers or married and the story-thread leads to their inevitable separation and the demise of their relationship in a convincing manner that tracks -- and shows why, doesn't tell, I'll go along with it. (See Buffy/Angel above as an example. The writers successfully broke that ship up for me in S1 Angel.) <br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___3" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://shadowkat.dreamwidth.org/1464711.html#cutid3">Read more...</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___3" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br />4. Where the line should be drawn regarding shipping...<br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___5" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://shadowkat.dreamwidth.org/1464711.html#cutid5">shippers who try to influence the writing of the show</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___5" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br />5. My ships or the one's that I have shipped the hardest in recent years and still do to an extent?<br /><br />Canonical Ships:<br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___6" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://shadowkat.dreamwidth.org/1464711.html#cutid6">Read more...</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___6" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br />Nothing new though. I don't ship much any longer. Shipping for television shows is ridiculously painful.<br /><br />Non-canonical?<br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___7" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://shadowkat.dreamwidth.org/1464711.html#cutid7">Read more...</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___7" aria-live="assertive"></div><br />But I can't say I was passionate about any of them.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=shadowkat&ditemid=1464711" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
